• Spinql compiler version 3.19.19

Changes

326: It is now possible to add test sets containing commas in search strings. Previously, entering a comma in a test string would result in an error. This has been resolved — commas are now supported by automatically escaping them behind the scenes, so no changes are needed in the frontend workflow.

327: It is now possible to create test sets without filling in all parameters. Previously, when working with a template that required multiple parameters, all of them had to be provided before a test set could be saved. This restriction has been removed, giving Desk users the flexibility to create test sets with only the parameters relevant to their testing needs.

343: The API documentation now always points to the correct server URL. Previously, the documentation would reference a hardcoded URL, which could cause confusion for Desk users working in a custom environment. With this fix, the documentation accurately reflects the actual server being used, making it easier to navigate and use the API without running into misleading or broken links.

312: Desk users can now see more of their strategy snapshot history in the UI. Previously, only a limited number of recent snapshots were visible, making it impossible to access or restore older versions. This has been improved to max 25 snapshots, giving Desk users a better overview of their strategy's history and more flexibility when reviewing or reverting to earlier versions.

205: Newly added test sets in the strategy editor are now displayed in order of creation, making it easier for Desk users to find their most recently added tests. Please note that for existing test sets created before this update, the order cannot be guaranteed, as this information was not previously stored.

336: Desk users can now edit the current strategy directly from a multiplexed endpoint. Previously, the option to "edit current strategy" was missing when opening a multiplexed endpoint, forcing users to navigate elsewhere to make changes. This has been resolved, making the workflow smoother and more consistent with other endpoint types.

303: Desk users can now preview and test multiplexed endpoints directly from the Desk interface. Previously, clicking on a multiplexed endpoint to test it would result in an empty page, making it impossible to validate its behavior. With this fix, the preview works as expected and also clearly indicates the multiplexing parameter, so Desk users have everything they need to properly test the endpoint.

357: The "Contact the developer" link has been removed from the Swagger search API documentation in Desk, resulting in a cleaner and less confusing interface for Desk users.

293: A bug has been fixed where clicking "Manage configurations" in the configuration selector would accidentally deselect the active configuration. This caused requests to fail and data sets to stop displaying, which could be very confusing for Desk users. The current configuration now remains correctly selected when managing configurations.

New Block: Language Transliteration

Transliterate language-specific sets of unicode characters to their ASCII representation. This is very useful to convert umlauts such as ä to ae instead of a, for example.

Delta Dataset (BETA)

Improvement: Objects can be replaced with relations.

Further Changes

Improvement: Upgraded performance for block Quoted/Unquoted Strings

Release Date
2025-08-22

Versioning

• Spinque Desk version 1.4.2
• Strategy Center version 1.4.2
• Spinql compiler version 3.19.19

Decompression Based on Query String Does Not Seem to Work Any Longer

Bug Fix: When a pipeline URL had a parameter which refers to a decompression file, the pipeline was broken (for example https://example.org/testfile?format=application/gzip). This bug was introduced in release 1.3.3.

Multiplex on a Stacked Endpoint

Improvement: It is now possible to multiplex a stacked API endpoint on a param.

Volatile Attribute Fallback Value (BETA)

Improvement: When an attribute from an object is not provided within a volatile dataset, the attribute value is taken from the standard dataset.

Release Date
2025-08-22

Versioning

• Spinque Desk version 1.4.1
• Strategy Center version 1.4.1
• Spinql compiler version 3.19.19

Fixed Issue Where Updating a Dataset's Metadata Dropped Volatility and Delta Flag (BETA)

Bug Fix: When a dataset is set to delta or volatile, settings were lost whenever the page reloads.

Release Date
2025-07-03

Versioning

• Spinque Desk version 1.4.0
• Strategy Center version 1.4.0
• Spinql compiler version 3.19.19

Mark Datasets as Delta (BETA)

New Feature: You can now set datasets as delta. Enabling an API with a delta dataset will skip materialization for standard datasets during the index process, which reduces the index times.

Note
This is a BETA feature and is not usable in production yet.

Release Date
2025-03-03

Versioning

• Spinque Desk version 1.3.3
• Strategy Center version 1.3.3
• Spinql compiler version 3.19.19

API Startup Cache Issue Resolved

264: Bug: The API now starts with a clean cache and a reset Cache Manager, resolving startup preparation failures.

Hide URL Parameters in Desk for Security

192: Improvement: For security reasons, all parameters within fetched URLs (e.g., SAS tokens) are now hidden in Desk.

New Block

272: Added block Obj, Integer ↔ Obj, Double that converts between object integers and object doubles.

Cache Unchanged Pipeline Sources

219: Improvement: SPARQUE Desk checks the lastModified header of source files. If unchanged, it skips re-downloading, improving pipeline inspection and mapping debugging performance.

Mark Datasets as Volatile

268: BETA - New feature: You can now mark datasets as volatile. Attributes marked this way will not be materialized; the API returns their values directly from the dataset.

Note
This is a BETA feature. It is not fully supported yet and is only available in production environments upon request.

Release Date

Versioning

• Spinque Desk version 1.2.0
• Strategy Center version 1.2.0
• Spinql compiler version 3.19.19

Improved Performance for Block Combinations

244: We have optimized how block “combinations” work, making them faster and more efficient.

New Block "Top N String"

260: This new block helps you select the top results from a set of strings—for example, in keyword suggestions.

Improved Dataset Reloading Checks

254: Before reloading a dataset through the UI, the system now checks pipelines for errors. This prevents issues caused by incorrect configurations, such as mapping errors. The UI will indicate whether a dataset can be safely reloaded or if errors need to be fixed first.

More Reliable API Performance

255: There is improved performance when enabling or starting an API. Previously, users sometimes experienced random timeouts, which should now be significantly reduced.
